Flowers in the Snow

Crocus rest in earthly sleep... where Angels weep...

As the New Year becomes a breath of fresh Air... 

we wait for the Miracle of Snow falling on broken Hearts 

where turbulence and uncertainty have settled upon a 

Land that was once fertile with love and understanding... 

The Snow Birds appear to eat the Berries and seeds 

scattered about... grateful for generosity and fortune... 

Goldfinches perched on Milkweed stalks and 

Meadow Larks sing of a glorious Spring... 

Peace and Benevolence will be our Creed...

You love your snow birds and the melody they sing.. they sure do cheer up winter and make the frigid a rather pleasant season….and whatever is there is to eat, they are grateful for…..and we can tell spring isn’t far away because the Meadow Larks begin to sing…..lovely
Best, B

dearest Betty … the Mourning Doves and Cardinals have gathered on the Wide feeder on our old Deck .. gives us an up close view of our Guardian Angels on this Earth. Prayers for blessings as we survive the Winter Season. Your Review is close to

This was delightful to read! Recently I played with my family in the snow for the first time (we live in a desert) so you've explained that magic beautifully.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sleepless... snow can be so Peaceful. and Children are delighted to experience a Winter Wonderland. Thank you for joining the Society of Snowflakes softly falling. Be blessed and be refreshed. Gently, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

your poem reminds me of all those poor souls in Ukraine that are freezing right now and I think of all the children that are suffering and dreaming of a time with no conflict and the warmth of spring

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Robert… it is a difficult time for Ukraine and we wonder… where is the Mercy. We try to help and we Pray as a Country. There is no place that is Safe. We try to be cheerful, but it is always in our 💜 Heart. tenderly, Pat

It feels that this Gem is driven by changing Weather and a changing Life. Maybe an attempt to learn to embrace one and accept the other.
Close?

[Patricia Wedel]

dear RoniO... yes, it seems almost like "in a twinkling of an Eye" our World has changed. Embracing and accepting are always on our mind; however, many people could survive in their own Country... as we will become a third world country with many to perish. We were a Country where people were welcome with "accountability". In a short time, so much has been damaged and destroyed. All the new Citizens should work as hard as we have worked to achieve so much. Giving away all our privileges Free is not the Answer. Although we will protect the Children first as best we can... but where will the money come from?

[DIVYA]

If only we learnt to sing of the spring like the Meadow Larks and be grateful for the generosity of Nature like the Snow Birds...There would be so much less turbulence and uncertainity upon this once blessed land. I hope the tender snow fills the cracked and injured hearts and peace, love and understanding return with the Spring. I wish you a New Year full of all these blessings. Thank you for such beautiful poetry.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear DIVYA… there are times when the Snow falls softly for hours… the Meadows are serene and peaceful… even the branches on the trees may have tear drops of snow. We have a Chill in the Air that only subsides when the Sun shines ever so Bright. I worry about all the people and children who are Cold. My prayers are for those lost souls searching for a place to be. It seems the Evil people always find a way to survive… albeit many Good people do manage to keep warm. Wishing you dear friend a warm place when needed. Thank you for your gentle words. softly, Pat

[DIVYA]

I join my prayers with yours for the good people suffering this winter. I know this year has been truly harsh to those most vulnerable and I hope God works His miracles on those lost. In such times we feel helpless and so we must in all earnest pray.

[Mauricio Montoya]

It's been awhile but never disappointed,you have a way to make someone read and end it with a point.
Thank you for sharing

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Mauricio… as we struggle through the Winter we take time to count our blessings and pray that our World will think of Humanity and what is best for the People. So much confusion to be sorted and records made to be fair to the deserving people who have chosen to be Charitable to those in need. Thank you for your comment. gently, Pat

[Mauricio Montoya]

Ur right we never see the beauty until we suffer what we can't control unless we find away out of it and now because we almost lost we don't want someone else to lose it too.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
It's a good write.

[Chris Shaw]

January is a wicked month. It is disliked by both me and my siblings. It is a month of loss. A reminder of how much we were loved by parents and grandparents. The bulbs are sleeping and soon new life will be creeping through showing it’s green. I am looking forward to a show of crocus and snowdrops. The birds will always sing regardless. Happy new year Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Chris… My Mother passed two days after Christmas in 1979; her Birthday was January 11… so I know the sadness. It is lovely to plant Crocus as they are a promise of Spring. Thanks for your endearing review. tenderly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

You have a generous heart ❤ and a gentle spirit. I love all the sceneries you describe and the Birdies that appear from nowhere like angels with wings.
You must live in a magical place.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami… you have me tickled with your delightful Review. Yes, we do live in a Circle of Homes with lots of Birds. In fact Mourning Doves are on the large wide Railing of our Deck at the moment eating Sunflower Seeds and other seeds. Soon the Cardinals will join them. Yes, we must be generous to the precious people and children. God has a plan to sort through the Confusion and eliminate the Evil… is our Prayer. Thank you Sami and have a lovely Day. tenderly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I agree wholeheartedly. You are welcome. Enjoy the fireplace, too.

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Sami… we have not used our Fire place, since we moved here Five years ago. There are too many Old Pine trees close to the house. However, we would love to burn Wood to keep warm. We have a Gas Furnace… but not as Cozy Warm. Be Brave… Spring will arrive with warmer weather. Gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Looking forward indeed. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my stone fireplace with lots of wood piles to burn. My Stihl chainsaw comes in handy. Be blessed.

[Patricia Wedel]

You are Fortunate to have a Fireplace. Perhaps someday, we will have the Tall old Pine trees Cut down and use it for Firewood… if we live long enough to manage that. That would be my Dream. If you don’t have a Dream, you cannot have a Dream come true. gently, Pat
